The survivor, along with their family, sought refuge in a safe room as the situation escalated. We'll hear about their shock and reliance on God and community during the chaos, and the remarkable events that unfolded in their home, which became a shelter for 40 people. As the story unfolds, we'll learn about the role of the survivor's parents, the challenges they faced on their way to rescue their family, and the acts of bravery and unity in the face of danger. Join us as we listen to this powerful account of survival and gratitude, with a connection to biblical references and a reminder of the ongoing conflict in the region.
